The Yurt at Solar Solitude sits behind the barn, and the 8.4 acres Solar Solitude occupies is available for exploring. The adjacent George Washington National Forest is ideal for hiking, and the Lost River State Park is just minutes away. Sit in the living room and enjoy the quiet beauty of nature while feeling the warmth from the wood stove or gaze up at the stars through the dome, or out on the expansive deck. WIFI works well for those who prefer to stay connected and/or telework! Enjoy walking the new walking paths and the waterfall and pond! The Solar Cottage on the property is occasionally occupied. , make sure you do not leave children unattended in the yard during the summer. Temperatures can get pretty high. Also, it’s a clamping experience so the air conditioner won’t really do much in the heat of summer so I recommend you plan day trips during the heat of the summer day.

- "Enjoyed our stay! Overall a fantastic property. Really fun and unique place and as advertised, however firepit area could use a trim. Bed was comfortable, and pullout was comfy as well. Able to work remotely and had no trouble, We enjoyed grilling on the deck and the solostove for smores in evenings!" - "My husband and I totally loved our stay in the Yurt. Russell was an amazing host and got back to me within minutes if I had any questions. It had all the amenities of home but the feeling of being close to nature. The yurt sits on a lot of land and our dogs loved exploring. The only thing I will say is the stairs up to the bed are quite tricky and my husband's older knees struggled a bit. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants the experience of "glamping"."

Escape to the mountains and enjoy a stay in this authentic converted early 20th-century hay barn. You'll be surrounded by the Appalachian mountains and beautiful West Virginia countryside. Our converted barn includes all the comforts of home while still showcasing original rough-sawn timbers and nostalgic glimpses of the past. In addition to seeing plenty of wildlife, you'll also encounter farm animals such as chickens, ducks, and a friendly goat.

As a child, my wife passed this little hay barn regularly on her way to her home. Now, our family has moved back to her childhood community and want to invite you to experience the charm of West Virginia life.

Our newly restored barn has 1 enclosed bedroom with a queen bed on the main floor, a large loft with 2 full-size beds, a sofa bed couch on the lower floor, and a large reading nook built on top of the barn's original feeding trough. This cozy nook on the lower floor doubles as sleeping space. There are 2 full baths with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash provided. The main floor bathroom offers a walk-in shower and the lower floor bathroom invites you into a relaxing soak in its antique claw-foot tub.

The Hay Loft is just as perfect for a romantic getaway as it is for a family vacation. The kitchen is well stocked with cookware, dinnerware, and utensils. Coffee, tea, and hot chocolate are provided. The end of the kitchen counter can be raised for additional counter space or use our fold-away stools to have extra table space.

The Hay Loft's high-speed fiber wifi is great for remote work, and allows you to stay connected during your visit. The 3 TV's are connected to Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.

You will have everything you need to have a peaceful retreat in the Hay Loft, but if you want to leave, there are plenty of sightseeing opportunities nearby. Even though we're miles away from city life, there are several lovely places to eat within 10 miles. We're located a few miles from Lost River State Park, with its miles of trails and majestic scenic overlooks, as well as a seasonal pool, horse riding, disc golf, tennis, and plenty of play and picnic areas. We are also within a 20-minute drive from Trout Pond, a beautiful mountain lake with a swim-friendly beach.

Guests will have full access to the Hay Loft and its back yard. There is a shared play set for children, as well as a pergola with a double swing that's perfect for relaxing. You can have a backyard fire in the fire pit. Wood and roasting sticks are provided.

There are farm animals including cats, a dog, a goat, chickens, and ducks on the property that you're welcome to pet or interact with during your stay.

We're just off a lightly traveled paved back road that is a good walking or biking space.

Our house is beside the Hay Loft, so you will likely see us next door and are welcome to interact if you would like. However, with the keyless entry and privacy fence, you can have as much solitude as you prefer. If you have any needs during your stay, we may be nearby to ask in person, and we'll always be available by cell phone or email.

PLEASE NOTE: The main floor of the Hay Loft is ONLY accessible by stairs.

We're located in the mountains, so cell service is unlikely at the Hay Loft. There are spots with AT&T service within walking distance, but Verizon or T-Mobile have a 5-minute drive to service. We have a guest wireless network that you can connect and call from.

We use a full-house filtration system for the Hay Loft, so you're welcome to drink the tap water.

We're a restored barn located in the country, and while we have made every effort to control insect life, you may see the occasional insect inside the barn.

- "The Hayloft is adorable. Raun & Dorcas were great hosts. Our kids loved it and said it was the best one they've ever stayed in. They are already making plans to stay again." - "This has to be the most charming, most well-equipped, most picturesque little getaway that I have ever stayed in. And I have stayed in a lot over the years. To begin, imagine staying in the fresh country air, surrounded by incredible mountain vistas only a few hours from the DC area. Then mix in two hosts that have really gone the extra mile to make your stay feel like a resort. They have thought of everything. Delicious coffee, tea and pastries awaited us in our well-stocked kitchen. The bathroom shower and downstairs bath were loaded with spa-like treatments. Outside was the most delightful jacuzzi, nestled in a garden space, with an elegant curtain to draw and offer a little privacy. The sound of nature and farm animals give a soft soundtrack to a relaxing soak. I noticed such delightful little touches throughout the house: hand painted mountains, raw wood details, fresh flowers, fall décor, children's toys and books, little spaces of joy and pure relaxation. I mean, truly, this is a hidden gem. Once you arrive, plan on unwinding in the most blissful of ways. And if you forgotten anything, they either already have it, or your wonderfully responsive hosts will be sure to help you get it. My favorite place to unwind was the lower level daybed area. It felt like I was drifting away on a ship. The only note you might want to know is that storage is limited due to the size of the space. So be prepared to be creative with items that you brought. Thank you Raun and Dorcas!!"

The perfect home to enjoy any season! This new, five-bedroom, three-bathroom home is ready for you to escape the everyday hustle. Located on 10 acres atop a mountain featuring breathtaking views, it is the perfect spot to savor your morning coffee while watching the sunrise or enjoy your evening glass of wine while watching the sunset. A gourmet kitchen and wood burning fireplace provide an ideal setting to enjoy time with your friends and family.
The space
The home is located in a magical and secluded area of Lost River Valley on 10 acres atop a mountain.

The upstairs living room has a comfortable couch and a reclining chair. The couch is perfect to snuggle up on in front of the wood burning fireplace (owner provided wood). The flat screen television is Roku-enabled so you can log in to all your favorite streaming services (Netflix, AmazonPrime, HBOMax, etc.)

The kitchen features a farmhouse sink, an induction cooktop, a wine fridge, and a double oven. With these great appliances, you'll be able to take some of the essentials we've provided and the groceries you bring to make an unforgettable meal.

The outdoor deck has panoramic views of the valley where you'll be able to watch breathtaking sunrises and be reminded why you're visiting. A comfortable seating area awaits, where you can relax with a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, or a good book. We have a propane Weber gas grill when you want to take the cooking from the kitchen to the deck.

The downstairs living space features a large sectional couch with a 65" flat screen TV with sound bar along with a game room that features a foosball table and a card table where you can play cards or board games, or gather around to put together one of the supplied puzzles. Sliding glass doors give you direct access to the outdoors where you can set up the supplied cornhole lawn game or horseshoes.

Downstairs, behind the glass and metal barn door you'll find the office, a quiet space where you can get some work done....if you must.

The primary bedroom has a king size bed, a walk in closet, and an ensuite bathroom with soaking tub. The bedroom has a Roku-enabled TV so you can log in to all of your streaming accounts. Two large windows feature breathtaking views of the valley. There are blackout shades if you like to sleep in, but we recommend leaving them open at least once to wake up with the sunrise.

The second bedroom has a queen size bed with unbeatable views. Pictures from a local artist adorn the walls. The third bedroom has bunk beds - a twin on top and a full on the bottom. These two bedrooms share a bathroom and a pocket door is able to close off these bedrooms from the rest of the house.

If you head downstairs, you'll find the fourth and fifth bedrooms. One features a king size bed with a reading nook and the other a queen size bed. Both bedrooms have large windows that allow you to take in the views. You may even see a deer walk by the bedroom windows in the early morning or evening hours. These two bedrooms share a large bathroom with a tub and shower.

Guest access
You will have access to the entire house and property. The community is great and we often walk up and down the gravel road that leads to the house. Wildlife is abundant and deer are often around each bend in the road. We ask that you not go on any of the neighbors’ property.

Other things to note
* We have outfitted the kitchen with all the appliances you'll need to make a great meal. We have also provided some spices, oils, coffee, and tea. Also available for your use is a drip coffee maker, an electric hot water kettle, a toaster oven, and a microwave.

* Cell phone service on the roads leading up the house is spotty at best. Once you're at the house it is better, but can still be spotty. The house has fast WiFi so you'll be able to connect to the outside world (if you even want to!) and stream all your audio and video content.

* Pets are permitted on a case-by-case basis, and there will be a $100 pet fee per stay to cover deep cleaning. Please contact us in advance for pre-approval so that we can manage the cleaning schedule and avoid potential allergy issues for future quests, etc.

* Firewood: We provide plenty of firewood on the premises, however, you may want to bring your own starter.

* There is no hunting permitted while you're visiting Lost River Lookout. No guns permitted on the property.

It was tricky to find a place big enough for the whole family that was also OK for my Mom, who can’t go up and down stairs. This listing was perfect for us. We loved cooking meals together, roasting marshmallows at the fire pit, playing some of the board games, and (Mom’s favorite) sitting on the gorgeous back deck and watching all the wildlife. There was lots of space for everyone to visit but also enough room for everyone to do their thing. The kids loved the downstairs game room, and I loved the nice soaking tub! I would recommend this to anyone who might be looking for the perfect getaway."
